The plaintiffs, VoIP service providers, sought an interlocutory injunction to prevent the defendant from suspending network carrier services and to allow the migration of telephone numbers without paying port-out fees.
The court determined the requested relief was a mandatory injunction, requiring a strong prima facie case.
The court dismissed the motion, finding the plaintiffs failed to establish a strong prima facie case for breach of contract or intentional interference with economic relations, failed to demonstrate irreparable harm, and that the balance of convenience favoured the defendant.
The court also noted the plaintiffs did not come to court with clean hands due to unpaid invoices.
